22oz. bottle. Sweet and roasty malt aroma, full of chocolate and toffee with notes of marshmallow, cola and some faint hop perfume. Mostly opaque black-brown color with a light tan head that subsides considerably. Dark chocolate malt flavor, again roasty and sweet, gently smoky and nutty with hints of sugary, creamy coffee, spicy, citric hop, and a very mild degree of bitterness. Smooth and thin on the palate with a low amount of effervescence, body is light-medium. Pretty well dominated by chocolate sweetness, fairly light and pleasant otherwise.

Nov 26, 2008 Taste 11/8 Bottle. Opaque Black thin heavy head. Aroma: Coffee, Chocolate and toasted malt. Taste: A little smoke, toasted malt, mild chocolate, a light dark fruit sweetness. Not a dry stout, but leans that direction.

Nov 26, 2008 Nice attractive deep cola brown pour with a thick, smooth tight bubbled head. The nose is rich with coffee and chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor is quite the same, and quite enjoyable. Very smooth and clean dry finish.

Nov 20, 2008 Nice dark brown/black pour with a cream colored head. Earthy roast malt aromas. Tastes similarly with coffee and mocha tones. Solid medium body. Slight creaminess. Finish a little smokey with nice coffee and hop bitterness. Well balanced and drinkable. One of the best examples of the style I’ve had in a while.
